title: [Association of hepatitis C virus genotype with glycolipid iron metabolism in Gansu Han population].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the association of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype with glycolipids iron metabolism in Gansu Han population.
  
  
  METHODS
  The genotypes of HCV 1b type and 2a type were detected in Gansu Han HCV carriers. The Glu, Insulin, CHOL, TG, UIBC, TRF, TIBC, SF, Serum Iron, AST, ALT, TBil, IBil, DBil, ALP, GGT were measured and compared between patients with different HCV genotypes.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were 84 cases with HCV1b type and 136 cases with 2a type. There were significant differences in TG, ALT, TRF, TIBC between 1b type and 2a type genotype HCV carriers.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The 2a type HCV carriers may be more inclined to develop hyperlipidemia and liver damage, and 1b type HCV carriers are likely to have iron metabolism defect.
